CSI-2/DSI D-PHY Receiver

Description

The Lattice Semiconductor D-PHY Receiver IP converts DSI or CSI-2 data to 8-bit or 16-bit or 32-bit or 64-bit data. The CSI-2/DSI D-PHY Receiver IP is intended for use in applications that require a D-PHY receiver in the FPGA logic.

Limitations

This section serves as a complement of the official User Guide.

1.7.0
The IP only supports even word count for multiple DSI packets transmitted within a single HS transmission, including EoTp, Null and Blanking (when DSI
Back-to-Back HS Packets == ON).
When DSI Back-to-Back HS Packets == ON, ECC and CRC checks are not supported.
When D-PHY RX IP == Soft D-PHY or CIL Bypass is checked, follow these guidelines:
  • For data rates with corresponding byte clock of 30 MHz and below, the minimum duration of the tHS-PREPARE + tHS-ZERO from the D-PHY source
    is 145 ns + 10 x UI + 2 x TCLK_BYTE, where TCLK_BYTE is clk_byte_o for Soft D-PHY and clk_byte_fr_i for Hard D-PHY with CIL bypassed, to ensure
    proper detection of the Start-of-Transmit pattern.
  • For lower data rates, ensure the duration of tLPX and tHS-TRAIL are longer than the clk_byte_fr_i period with at least 1.5x duration.
Some configurations may fail Static Timing Analysis when compiling your design using LSE. If this happens, consider compiling your design using the Synopsis
Synplify Pro.
Some IP configurations may have slower Fmax when used in devices with slow speed grade. The following Fmax values are approximates and may vary
depending on the system-level design:
  • Nexus devices: 122 MHz for Gear 8, 111 MHz for Gear 16
  • Avant devices: 145 MHz
Test Coverage Limitations:
  • SOT error for soft DPHY (addr : 0x39) is not tested.
  • ECC feature with error scenario is not tested in DSI mode. This feature is tested only in CSI-2 mode.
AXI4-Stream interface does not support back-pressure.
Escape Mode, Ultra Low Power State (ULPS), and Bus Turnaround sequences are not yet supported.
For Lattice Avant devices, packets may be missing after a local system reset is performed because of the current design limitation of using the delay block.
